   My hot take for the weekend, as someone raised in a socially conservative household, is that social conservatism is bad and raising kids in such a household is inherently abusive

     For example, corporal punishment:

     The data is astoundingly clear that it traumatizes and harms kids. There's no curvilinear effect either where a little bit is ok but too much is bad. It's just bad. And yet socially conservative households persist with it

     My social politics are informed by actual lived experience (and of course the data doesn't lie either)

     Many people are relativist or otherwise equivocal about the environments in which parents raise their kids. I'm both lived experience and data-driven
